You ask if the Rams should take a QB if they get the top pick? Well I personally am a Seahawks fan, but if I were a Rams fan I would hope not. I think Bradford still could be a great QB and if not KEllen has done a good enough job to get a shoot, then there is the Russell Wilson/Nick Foles factor, that you can find a guy that you can build an offense around in a latter round. What I would do is trade the pick to a QB needy team and pick up more picks to get some playmakers and onlinemen. But hey as a Seahawk fan if the Rams want to waste that pick, more power to them.

Here is an important lesson for everyone to go home and tell to their daughters: the Steelers are superior in many ways to other sports franchises. We bring legitimacy to a now illegitimate sport (ruined by agents and lawyers). We are the fist of God striking down upon the ocean of corruption. Our wins reflect our triumphs over destructive, vile forces. Our losses reflect our struggles to prevail against such evil.

We are resilient. We will continue to carry out God’s will. For in the prophecy, The March® (Steelers’ final Super Bowl run) gives birth to our own football league, a promise land where football will be reborn without the distasteful elements (remember when tackling was legal?).

The Rams should trade their first pick back to the Redskins for two more first round picks…that way the skins can draft a quarterback. Because we all know they’re desperate for one.

there is nothing more overrated in the NFL right now than that 12th man competition nonsense. the seahawks are just good at home. pro players aren’t pissing their pants cuz it’s loud. the hawks are just a nasty team. but i’m confident in my panthers

Bengals: “The best way to win a playoff game could be not having to play one, and this team is closer to a bye than most realize.”

Okay, they did beat the Patriots head to head earlier this season, but the Patriots are 1 game ahead of them. The Pats’ remaining games are vs Cleveland, at Miami, at Baltimore, and vs Buffalo. I don’t see the Patriots losing more than 1 of those games.

Meanwhile, the Bengals are home against the Colts, at Pitt, vs Minnesota, and finish vs Baltimore. That’s not a terribly tough schedule either, but dropping at least 2 of those games is not a crazy thought.

The Bengals are still about a year away from really contending for the AFC crown.

The Seahawks are almost unbeatable — at home. I would make them an underdog in the neutral-site, cold-weather SB against the Pats for sure, and maybe the Broncos, depending how Manning does in the last few cold weather games.

Is it just me or is the league this year, and perhaps even last year, full of mediocrity? More so this year. Look at the playoff picture. The top couple teams are average if you compare them to the best teams of years past. Then look at the the other teams in the playoff hunt. Below average teams that wouldnt have a prayer compared to years past.

Sure, an upset could happen, but let’s be honest. Does anyone really not expect the Pats to be in the Super Bowl this year? For the NFC, Seattle is a gimme unless they choke in the playoffs.

Rams: “If the Rams finish with the first overall pick in the draft (thanks to the Redskins), do they take a quarterback?”

No.

Suggesting such an idea is ludicrous beyond belief. The Rams still have almost $35 million tied into Bradford through 2015, so why in the world would they look into drafting another QB now? Didn’t Fisher like what he had seen in Bradford before he took the job in St. Louis? Why jump ship on the kid now?

At worst, the Rams would think about moving on beyond Bradford after 2015. Not before then.

Some People are just creepy….. so glad i dont like in the same state as this dude, i would move

Don’t forget your coach trying to get in the way of the opposing team’s players.

The PEDhawks are undeniably No. 1, but you can’t help but wonder what horrible plans the football gods have in store to punish their chemical romance. Even the 12th man has ‘roid gut and inexplicable bouts of rage.

The Miami Dolphins are this years Giants, or last years Ravens. A team barely scrapping by, sneaking into the playoffs, injuries everywhere and an unproven QB and an above average defense that will lead them into the playoffs and week after week shock the world. Miami is Super Bowl bound in 2013 and you heard it here first. Watch out Denver and Seattle… HAHAHAHA YEAH RIGHT!!! MAN my Dolphins are such a disaster each and every year, another 8-8 season with a weak first round pick to come, WOOHOO!!!

It will be interesting to see how Atlanta and Washington decide to use their top draft pick next spring.

Neither team will be drafting a QB, but both will be in prime position to trade down with a team that desperately needs one.
____________________________________

Washington does not possess a first round pick this year, as they shipped it to the Rams last season for the right to move up and draft RGIII. So, for every loss the Redskins earn, the better the Rams first round draft pick becomes. That’s what we like to call sweet, sweet justice.

“If the Rams finish with the first overall pick in the draft (thanks to the Redskins), do they take a quarterback?”

No.Suggesting such an idea is ludicrous beyond belief. The Rams still have almost $35 million tied into Bradford through 2015, so why in the world would they look into drafting another QB now? Didn’t Fisher like what he had seen in Bradford before he took the job in St. Louis?

Unfortunately, 3/4 of the teams who changed coaches since 2012 when Fisher was hired are already better than the Rams….and most of those teams didnt have their current QB on the roster. The Rams will draft a QB in April. While it might not be in Rd 1, they will draft one and start him in 2015 if Bradford doesnt accept a serious paycut.

————————————————-

On paper, yes you have a point, but go all the way back to the 2012 season. Did you honestly expect the Broncos to be picked off in the postseason by anyone at all? Seattle does look about as humanly close to unbeatable as possible, but even they could lay an egg somewhere along the way. And I’m fully expecting Peyton to struggle in the cold in Denver in January just as he did last year.

The Seahawks have done great this year, except when playing on the road or against the Mighty Texans, Titans, Rams, Bucs, Colts, and Panthers. It’s funny how everyone only seems to remember one game last night, against an overrated Saints team that everyone seems to forget barely squeaked out a 17-13 win over the Falcons just a week ago (not to mention how they were dominated by the Jets a month ago). How anyone thinks they’re a “lock” for anything, much less the Super Bowl, is beyond me. No doubt they’re one of the best teams, but they’re just as vulnerable as everyone else.

I don’t understand why everyone beleives this as it’s not true at all. In an uber-realistic scenario, the Packers can win the division if the Lions go 2-2 and the Packers 4-0 over the final 4.

The Lions have 2 Very Difficult games remaining with @Philadelphia and Home vs. Baltimore as well as a Divisional Road Game @Minnesota (Final game at the Metrodome) and home versus the Giants. I could easily see the Lions splitting those four or even dropping 3 of 4 giving the Packers and even the Bears a little bit of room for error.

This divisional race is FAR from over.

“If Aaron Rodgers can get back this weekend, things can get very interesting in the NFC North.”

Really? The Pack would have to win out and the Lions lose out for them to win the North. If you think both of those are happening, I have some real estate in Detroit to sell you.

Amen brother, to the birth of the SFL ( steelers football league). Where after we win this years Super Bowl like god has intended and stated in the bible they shall change the name to the Steeler bowl. It will be worthless for the steelers to stay in the NFL cause with our dominance what is the point? God himself will strike down all future Steeler challengers and the rivers will flow with there blood. Anyone who scores against the mighty steelers will be cast to hell for eternity. March we will to the Steeler bowl and the future SFL. First the nation and then Pittsburgh! March on!

Had there not been a late game gaff by a rookie returner the Bronco’s would have beat the Pats. They’re only other loss came on an emotional home coming to Indy.

There isn’t a team in the NFL that can cover or keep up with the Bronco’s. The Hawks R great in Seattle but without the 12th man their D isn’t as tuff. The Saints R a lot less heavenly outside of the magic dome. The Pats on the road and without the cold to balance the scales can’t get it done. NO

There’s No team that can match up to the Denver Bronco’s. Once they secure home field advantage the road to the super bowl will go through Denver !

I have watched the Rams for awhile now. Sam Bradford was playing just fine. That team needs offensive lineman in the worst way. Jake Long was not the answer, his body has broken down. Their wins came off the young defense getting hot and a guys named Zac Stacey/Tavon Austin finding their way in NFL.

Dude- They won all those games, except the Colts. Were you watching???

I said this in an earlier post. Seahawks have a road game in New Jersey in week 15. After that they are home for the last two and the playoffs.

So all they need to do is secure their bye, win a divisional and championship game at home and then return to New Jersey for the Super Bowl, with something like six straight weeks at home during that time.

I’ve always known that tv analysts and writers for the NFL were lazy and just regurgitate the same tired commentary over and over. Well from the looks of it by all these comments, the fans are just as lazy. Every team plays closer to their opponent on the road. The Seahawks used to lose on the road- a year and a half ago. An 11-1 record by nature means your winning on the road unless I missed something and we played our last 12 games at home. Look at Russell Wilson’s stats on the road since week 7 of last year and the teams record and obviously you would be surprised by your uninformed comments. I assume no one is going to do that though because that would take an unbiased effort and since the guys that get paid for it won’t research it why would the tool boxes on this comment board do it. GO HAWKS!!! We’re having fun up here in the north west. #jealous-u-should-be

……………………
That is literally 100% factually inaccurate.

If the Packers won out and the Lions lost out, the Lions would be 7-9 and the Packers would be 9-6-1. All the Packers need to do to win the division is go 3-1 and have the Lions go 2-2, and with Aaron Rodgers, the former is absolutely possible. And the Lions going 2-2 isnt inconceivable at all given their remaining schedule.

Remember when everyone laughed at Tony Dungy a few weeks ago for predicting the Panthers would represent the NFC in the Super Bowl? Well, who’s laughing now?

As for the Seahawks, they barely handled the Panthers in the season opener–a Panthers team that has dramatically improved since then. And if you think that Seahawks’ home winning streak is going to reach the 17 in a row that it takes to knock off the Panthers, then you’re the one that’s naïve.

I don’t understand why everyone beleives this as it’s not true at all. In an uber-realistic scenario, the Packers can win the division if the Lions go 2-2 and the Packers 4-0 over the final 4.

Ummm…..you lost to the BEARS! Your season is over. Start counting your fingers to see what draft pick you’re going to end up with.

So I get downvoted for saying the league this year is mediocre?! Take a look at the top 15 teams. How in the world can you look at these teams, their records, how and who they play and believe this season is not a below average season, quality wise? How many playoff winning, super bowl winning teams of the past would fear a team in the league this year? They wouldnt.

1. Seahawks (11-1; last week No. 1): Great record yes, but they’re very beatable on the road. Opponents record currently is 65 – 78 w/l.

2. Panthers (9-3; No. 3): Have looked good, by this years standards, but again, weak schedule in a mediocre league.

3. Patriots (9-3; No. 4): Have a lot of barely getting by games this year. Defense is hit and miss at times. Luckily for them, there is no real great Defense that can completely shut them down.

4. Broncos (10-2; No. 5): Good offense but will shut down in cold weather. Defense is horrific.

SEATTLE…looks just plain awesome……”IN SEATTLE…….but too bad for them the Superbowl is in NY,,,,IN FEB. They stink on the road,,truly they do. Clawed out a 4 pt win against Atlanta? Squeaked by TB? RAMS? You can’t play like that against quality teams on the road…..

22. Giants (5-7; No. 23): Just making it to the playoffs this year would be a bigger upset than either of their Super Bowl wins.
——————
Totally agree. Yet, if they magically do, everyone knows that they are the only team in the NFC capable of taking down the mighty Seahawks in their house.

Seattle fans have nothing left to do than root for Philly or Dallas to seal up the NFCE. Then, they have a bye straight to, ironically, MetLife.

San Diego is 5-7 and just got beat by the Bengals who got beat by the Dolphins and the Chargers got beat by same said Dolphins, both without our starting LT, and said Dolphins last week got a slim defeat against the number 2 Panthers, and just put up 23 points and 125 yards on the number one rush defense in the NFL and a team who beat NE and the Saints and held them to 3 points in this weekends only rout until Seattle took the field.

“If Aaron Rodgers can get back this weekend, things can get very interesting in the NFC North.”

Yep, Green Bay will suddenly remember how to play defense, the GB offense will start to hum like a smooth running machine and the Super Bowl march will begin. OMG. Delusional fools. The defense has been horrendous for 2 years. No matter who plays quarterback the Packers will be lucky to win 1, maybe 2 games over the final month.

“I have watched the Rams for awhile now. Sam Bradford was playing just fine. That team needs offensive lineman in the worst way.”

You obviously havent been watching very well because their OLine has played very well….better than half the teams in the league according to Pro Football Focus.

The Rams glaring weaknesses are their secondary and the fact they continue to have 4th-caliber WRs masquerading as their 1 and 2. Givens, Pettis and Quick arent keeping def coordinators awake at night.

This is incorrect. Yes, Green Bay has to win out. However, Detroit only needs to drop 2 of the 4 and The Packers win the north.

This cracks me up – an objective, easily verified fact is pointed out and already 12 people “dislike” it.

Yes, I was especially impressed by the 3-point overtime victories over the 2-10 Texans and the 3-9 Bucs. The Seahawks are unstoppable, baby! I mean if the Texans and Bucs can’t beat the Seahawks, then Carolina, New England, and Denver have no prayer.

“forem4n says, Really? The Pack would have to win out and the Lions lose out for them to win the North. If you think both of those are happening, I have some real estate in Detroit to sell you.”

I agree even with Rodgers back it is a huge long shot, but by my math if the Packers went 3-1, they would be 8-7-1. If the Lions went 1-3, they would be 8-8, which means they would lose the division. So neither team would have to lose out or win out for that to happen.

Hmmm….

Saints lost on the road to the Jets, Patriots, and Seahawks

Umm…
Seattle beat Atlanta by 23.
Squeaked by TB (at home, by the way). TB then went on to win 3 straight.
Tough win against the Rams, but you can’t win every game by 30.

11-1. They have lost only once on the road. Oh, and guess what – looks like they won’t have to go on the road in January.

By the way Haters, the Super Bowl is a road game for EVERY team. And it’s a total neutral site. Most of the people there are corporate suits and sponsors, the game isn’t at 10am or anything. There’s little to no “road” effect to it. This year, it will be cold and snowy. Who does that benefit? Teams with a good ground game.

Seahawks do struggle for wins on the road but I believe they can handle the Broncos in the Super Bowl…in February!

Come on people, haven’t you been paying attention? The Washington franchise is not what their record says it is. They are going to win 5 of the next 10 Super Bowls and they will go 14-2 this year with a Super Bowl victory and an MVP trophy for RG3-9.

If the Chiefs and Broncos win the rest of the games and the Patriots lose one more game. Would that make the Chiefs and Broncos #1 and #2 seeds in the AFC?

Or does the #1 and #2 seeds have to win their division?

Just found that to be interesting since the Patriots and Chiefs currently have the same record.
================================
Lots of “ifs” still to be worked out. Like… If he Pat lose one more and the Bengals win out. It will be a fun dash to the finish.

As a Dolphins fan, I could be biased, but I don’t understand why we aren’t ranked higher. We blew a win against the Panthers and Ravens, beat teams like the Chargers and Bengals, and hung in with the Pats and Saints for at least a half before tanking. Our team could be so good if we used our talent properly and efficiently. Obviously, great teams finish games, but for us it’s always “next year” hence my username.

I wasn’t going to commeny on this at all till i saw this. Wow first of all. Rg3 to high Russell Wilson way to high not that he’s not good but not top 10. As much as i hate Rivers he is way better then you ranked him a straight up switch of him and wilson would correct both. Romo, lol this is a guy who you either love or hate. Personally i dont like him, reminds me of mcnabb has two bad games then a good one repeat. Id give him 10/11ish. Alex smith should move up a few spots and so should Flacco. Completely agree with 1-4 and the bottom of the list could all be replaced by 3rd rounder so who really cares.

Russell Wilson is in no way a top 5 qb. Thats crazy talk. And i like the guy, he’s just not there, yet.
